Jade Mya [Singer] - Biography

When Jade Mya was 11 or 12, she remembers a morning when her stepfather stopped her before school because he thought her outfit — a baggy white sweater dress slung over black tights — was too provocative.The issue wasn’t that the modest ensemble was revealing but instead that Mya had grown up identifying as a boy.“He got really upset,” Mya recalls. “I still remember that day, him sitting me down, being like: ‘You can’t dress like that. You can’t go to school like that.’ He was freaking out.“I remember talking back and saying, ‘I’ll go to school like this if I want to. This is comfortable. I like this. I’m different.’”Perhaps that conversation looms large for Mya because it set so many things in motion; first, the concerned parents who “you could always hear talking at night,” then 18 months of weekly therapy, followed by consultation after consultation with doctors. Finally, she began to transition at 15 years old. Doctors told her she was the youngest person in Canada ever to do so.Or perhaps she remembers that conversation so clearly now, at age 25, because it was an early instance of Mya retaining the resolve to be herself.Now a country singer whose seven-song debut Heartbreak Country came out in August and a fitness model with 140,000 Instagram followers, Mya hadn’t spoken publicly about being transgender.But as she stomps closer toward a hard-fought career breakthrough, she wants fans to know who she is.“I want to take control of the story,” she explains. “Some people thought I might have been lying because I didn’t bring it up in the first few words any time they met me; because I didn’t label myself as a certain way. And I don’t think people should label themselves. We’re all humans.“But I’m proud of the person I am. So I want to come out and if people can see me as a pillar of hope or a pillar of anything, I’ll be grateful.”And when it comes to pillars, by the way, Mya has always had her family.She grew up in Luskville, a small western Quebec town “past Gatineau, past the mountains, past the cows and past the farms.” In town and at home, country music was a mainstay, and Mya essentially inherited her fondness for the classic likes of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.“If country music wasn’t playing,” she recalls, “someone was sick.”Mya’s mom immigrated to Quebec from Lebanon when she was pregnant, so Mya never knew her father. But her close-knit family seems the tough stuff of country tunes. Though her mom and siblings worried about Mya undergoing aspects of the transition at such a young age, their support didn’t waver.Her sister, 31 and Mya’s “best friend,” invited Mya to live with her and her husband for a period of time, while Mya never forgot “how many fights my brother got into at school for me.”“I have a really good family,” she says.Along the way, music was an outlet. A blend of covers and originals, Heartbreak Country is rooted in the retro country she adores. The most personal tune might be “Loving Him Is Killing You,” a sprightly tune she co-wrote about the tumultuous end of her “first real relationship” two years ago.“We were talking about an engagement and buying a house together. That destroyed me, that one; that absolutely killed me,” she says. “He wasn’t strong enough to talk about the media talking about him.“I was just madly in love with him,” she adds. “We lived together. It was tough. But honestly, I came out strong and I wrote a great song that’s on the record.”Although Mya figures most of her fans don’t know she’s transgender, she has already faced discrimination on social media that she knows could amplify. “If you want to die, Google yourself.”She’s actually smiling when she says it and, in fact, derives some amusement from the strangest chatter (she was particularly tickled by the accusation that she removed a rib; she didn’t). If Mya had a thin skin, she notes, hers “would be the wrong industry to be in.”“Oh, I’ve been ready,” she smiles. “I’ve been getting the punches for, gosh, so long. Now they feel like little taps. They feel like gifts sometimes. ‘Oh, somebody wrote what?’“I’m a strong person. I’m like a brick wall. You can’t push me down.”Several of the songs from her debut are borrowed from the country soap Nashville, a show that doubles as an “addiction” for Mya, who says she’s watched all four seasons seven times each. Particularly, she was moved by a storyline revolving around a rising country star who came out as gay before being dropped by his label.“I sort of relate to him,” Mya says. “He just came out and was afraid of losing his fan base, which is still a fear in the back of my mind: people not being OK with it.“But honestly, I’m still OK with it. I love being the person I am. I’m proud to be this person. I want people to see it’s OK to be the person you are.”
